Sparkling Hyper-Realistic Portrait Rangoli Art by Kartik Khadatkar

Updated 22 Sep 2026

Kartik Khadatkar is a portrait rangoli artist from Wardha, India. His portrait rangolis are hyper-realistic and can sometimes be mistaken for paintings. We absolutely love the detailed work in his portrait rangolis. We especially love the intricate details he adds to his paintings; if you look closely, you can also see the sparkle on the ornaments. The colours, emotions, and attire are captured beautifully by this emerging artist. Apart from rangoli paintings, he enjoys creating digital versions of models and celebrities. Most of the subjects of his portrait rangoli art are popular celebrities from blockbuster Indian movies. We hope you like his work as much as we do.

Our Editor’s Experience

Kartik Khadatkar pushes portrait rangoli toward painted realism through closely controlled facial detail, colour, attire, and sparkling ornaments. Looking closer is rewarded here—just beware, the jewellery may steal the scene.
